Mom here: The plumber pried the cover off the floor drain (the hardest part), dug out most of the mud at the top, then flushed it with his high-pressure hose.There’s a trap to prevent backups from the street, and that stopped most of the litter mud from going down and making a bigger clog.Thanks for all the suggestions and support! Crisis over.

Oh, yoo guys din't wanna see da plummer guy anyway. We hadded one here once and dey ware pants dat show there ::whisper:: butt crack. Dey bring in snakes (yikes) and dey make wet water go in places it shoodent!

*shudder* poor Bonnie being manhandled like that! this is awful. it is good you didn't see the bisitor tho. plumbers sometimes are scary - zippy, sadie & speedy are right with the butt crack. Once we had our plug in the basement flushed because that thing that keeps the street stuff from coming into the house stayed open and it was awfully smelly. I was glaad to be locked up.

Bonnie, you did a great job trying to defend your territory.

poor Victor being shut up with no food and no potty. *hugs to you both*

I'm glad that the crisis with the clog in the basement is over. Poor Bonnie really didn't like getting locked up, did she? You did a good job of protecting your home, Bonnie. I'm happy that Victor got out in time to use the litter box.

Oh, KC, WOWEE! You guys did a great job wif my idear. I was just finkin out loud (which fur me is still pretty quiet). ::spin:: Can I get a bumper to put a sticker on? Now cats all ofur will know they can join us in bloggin. Feline World Domination!

whoa, Bonnie, I'm very very impressed with your attitude. plus we're all very glad that your drain crisis is over. we don't have a real house, so we don't know about stuff like that. our Grandma's looking for one of those plummer people though. she's had no hot water for over a month now. she's trying to find one who doesn't charge $175 an hour.Grr

Hi Victor Thanks for Editing for us! The Human is silly and can't type any more. She has gone crazy we think. Stealing our Cat Nip Hmmpph.

Miss Bonnie we are so glad you did not starve, that intruder could have caused great trouble. We get thrown out when someone comes to intrude. Something about company and sharing meals with Kitty Cats... and bad kitty manners.

You are lucky your Human finally let you out. Actually the Woman is lucky, cause we would hate to see what happened to her if you have stayed longer.

Oh my goodness. What an exhausting 15 minutes!!! Thank goodness you two survived!! We're glad the crisis was resolved without too much trouble, although plumbers can cost a lot of green paypers just to come out to your house.

The sun is actually shining here today. We think this might be a mistake....
